Congratulations to KBR attorneys Rocco P. Matra and Nicholas S. Maharajh on obtaining summary judgment in a premises liability case in Supreme Court, New York County!

The case involved a worksite injury where our insured had subcontracted window washing work to the plaintiff’s employer. The plaintiff was injured when a top window sash unexpectedly dropped, partially amputating his finger. It was argued that the defect was internal, pre-existing, and unrelated to the plaintiff’s actions, and the responsibility for window maintenance rested with the building owner. The Court agreed and granted our motion, dismissing all claims against our client.
